Can you hear the explosions in my heart?
     
Can you hear the explosions in my heart?
Can you perceive the million mutinies that throttle me?
Dozens snipe at my vulnerability
Scores trample my soul
Escape routes all closed
I am surrounded
I am breathless
I stand in front of your door with folded hands
You alone can save me
You alone can winnow meaning in this chaos and confusion
You alone can explain what is behind these tears, behind these fears?
I am in a battle with my own self
Never winning never loosing
Mutations of life will surrogate victory
What do you then call this pyrrhic victory when everything is lost?
